WINNER & FINALISTS

Booking a ticket to San Diego, with its 121 breweries, is a worthwhile investment. Sunset judges selected Green Flash as their favorite brewery for its hoppy scene, fueled by up to 30 beers on tap. On the must list: Le Freak with the fruity aromatics of a Belgian and the hoppy wonder of an American IPA; Sea to Sea Lager, which has a sweet malt taste made to pair with the beach; and Passion Fruit Kicker, a wheat malt brew that’s a perfect ‘cue companion.
